Physiome-related Conferences

2008

International Biomedical Modeling School and Workshop. February 27 - March 3, 2008. Bangalore, India.

2007

The Resource Facility for Population Kinetics (RFPK) is pleased to offer a series of Introductory Workshops on Population Analysis using the System for Population Kinetics
- Padova, Italy: July 2-3, 2007
- Pittsburgh, PA, USA: September 24-25, 2007
- Perth, Australia: December 10-11, 2007
The two-day workshop will feature: Model development, testing and identifiability; hands-on introduction to differential equation and numerical modeling; individual and population models, population distributions; approaches to population analysis based on likelihood approximations. The understanding, practical usage and implementation of modeling concepts described in the workshop will be reinforced through hands-on use of published data sets.

The System for Population Kinetics (SPK) will be used for workshop training. The SPK is a web-based service for modeling and simulation being developed by the RFPK at the University of Washington. SPK facilitates nonlinear least squares and mixed effects modeling via a web browser and Java interface and uses a NONMEM-compatible language for model specification. The service is freely available and individual accounts will be provided to workshop participants (pursuant to the SPK Terms of Service). The SPK is accessible through the RFPK website.

Cost of attendance for each workshop is USD 400 (USD 200 for students and postdoctoral fellows), and includes workbooks, coffee breaks and lunch both days. Space is limited for each workshop. Software and computer access during the workshops will be provided. Registration and more information can be found at: http://workshops.rfpk.washington.edu.

BioMedMath 07-10: This school/workshop is the first in a series of 4 events sponsored by The Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses Programwith each event combining a summer school and an associated workshop on the same topic. These events will be held sequentially between 2007 and 2010. This series of events (BioMedMath 07-10) is organized by the University of Graz in partnership with the University of Copenhagen, the Biomathematical Laboratory Rome, and the University of Dundee.
Graz Summer School and Workshop Event 2007: Biomedical Modeling and Cardiovascular-Respiratory Control: Theory and Practice, July 22 - August 4, 2007, Institute for Mathematics and Scientific Computing, University of Graz, Austria. Course Organizers: Mostafa Bachar, Jery Batzel, and Franz Kappel.
The focus of the event will be on providing the school participant with an understanding of the theory and practice of modeling physiological control systems with a primary application of studying clinical problems related to the cardiovascular and respiratory control systems. Course instructors will include mathematicians, bio-engineers, and life scientists from academia and industry as well as medical clinicians.

Scientific Focus: To explore mathematical modeling techniques essential for studying human biomedical and clinical problems at primarily the organ and system level with an emphasis on control mechanisms and clinical problems arising from deficiencies in these control mechanisms. The school will consider these issues using the cardiovascular-respiratory control system as the central application.

Structure of the Graz Summer School and Workshop Event: The event includes a 14 day summer school including 11 days of course work followed by the summer school students attending a 3 day scientific workshop on the same scientific theme. The summer school course component is aimed primarily toward PhD students and new Post-Docs. The three day workshop will be a small scientific workshop which include presentations from approximately 16 additional scientists actively involved in research in the focus theme of the school allowing students to apply what they have learned and meet current researchers. Teachers of the summer school and other auditors at the workshop may attend as well.

Financial Support:Support for travel and local costs is available for summer school applicants from the EU and EU associated countries. It is important to apply early (see web page). The EU Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses Program is funding this event.
